The aim of the awards, which are jointly funded by the Association of Social Anthropologists (ASA) and the RAI, is to help young scholars in social anthropology who are handicapped by lack of funds to work towards the completion of research upon which they have already embarked.
Only students associated with British or Commonwealth universities are eligible, and only applicants who have nearly completed their theses are likely to be successful. Grants of up to £750 from the Fund are made at Trustees’ meetings twice a year.
The closing dates for applications are 30 April and 30 November each year.
Letter to applicants, notes for applicants, application format and referee forms are obtainable on-line, or can be obtained from the Assistant Director (Administration) at the RAI, 50 Fitzroy St, London W1T 5BT.
The Association of Social Anthropologists is pleased to announce that, from the November 2001 round onwards, in addition to the Radcliffe-Brown Fund grants a special award will be made from the newly established Firth Centenary Fund . Applications should be made through the same procedure as for the Radcliffe-Brown Awards. A candidate considered by the Trustees to be of outstanding merit will be named as recipient of the Firth Award.
